COMPETITION PROMPT

Write a poem or story about a mirror struggling with the fact that she has no identity of her own. (What could this be symbolic of?)

Who Am I ?

This time a code I can’t decipher

This time I stand in solitude

In this maze I am trapped in

A reflection

Of whoever stares at me

But never truly my identity


I am many faces

Yet my own is foreign to me

I always show the world what they want to see

And never truly me

Whoever that might be


Do I exist

When you’re not looking at me?

Who am I?

If not a copy


I dress the way you do

Talk the same way too

Is this who I really am?

Or do I just follow your view


I wonder what I would do

If I was free to choose

Would I look different

From when I’m with you


I wonder what I would sound like

What kind of sight

The question always lurks in my mind

Who am I

If not you ?
